| Noise
Abatement Procedures are designed to minimize exposure of
residential areas to aircraft noise, while ensuring safety of flight
operations. There are communities surrounding the airport which are
noise sensitive. We want to minimize the noise impacts on these
communities. The procedures described herein are intended for noise
abatement procedures and are subject to air traffic control and
pilot discretion for reasons of safety.
If you would like to contact airport operations regarding a
specific noise incident or to express your concerns about aircraft
noise in general, you may call the Noise Hotline at 425-353-2110
x1, or send an
e-mail, or fill out our
on-line form.
